I don't know if it's been mentioned, but I believe that the reaction from Biden on The Onion was from Car and Driver and he actually laughed at the question. I don't think he was offended by the joke or could spin away from it.

C/D: Sadly, we must ask about the Onion story. While shirtless, have you ever washed a 1981 Pontiac Trans Am in your driveway?

JB: [Laughing] You think I'd drive a Trans Am? I have been in my bathing suit in my driveway and not only washed my Goodwood-green 1967 Corvette but also simonized it. At least the Onion should have had me washing a Trans Am convertible. I love convertibles.

I'd appreciate if a new youtube account was created and the video posted there. You can pull it down from Youtube, RichieLaw?

Why dont you create one and then email me the new link or post it here so I can upload it. I am away from a computer at the moment and am on my mobile. I can manage the youtube as well if you like. Just shoot me the pw and sn. Joebidenstransam at gmail.com

BraveNewCheneyWorld:Because people who are suddenly motivated to donate to charity because it's mildly amusing in a round about way are the people who get it? Yeah, great that you're finally doing something, but if it's because this amuses you, you're really the one missing the point

You should start a charity to raise awareness for people tragically stranded atop high horses.

The threads in the smaller subreddits like r/nottheonion, r/offbeat, r/obama, r/politicalhumor, and others have enough momentum to be visible for the next few days. Any thread in a default sub like politics or funny needs a lot more momentum to keep it visible.

Developing this over the weekend with things like the video and other ideas, then pushing that out on Monday would be the best way to garner more attention.

I don't know about "getting it", but yes, this thread reminded me that I haven't donated to any charities in a while. And if I can donate money to what I think are good causes and have a big laugh with a bunch of other people at the same, it's win-win.

Haters can donate to mock Biden, and supporters can donate to show their appreciation of him. Everybody wins.

The only people who lose are the ones who get pissed off by this. And frankly, knowing my participation contributes to pissing them off is its own little reward too.

I didn't ask for a list of people who are morally inferior, but thanks for signing up I guess.

Aar1012:Dumb question. Did this start in Fark or did we just pick it up early?

Hack Patooey is the subby of this thread and deserves all the credit for the idea. RichieLaw set up the campaign site and has been doing the heavy lifting. The rest of us have been flacking and flogging. :)

This is the perfect place to get rid of the $5+ left at the end of a disposable gift card that isn't good for much else. You also get to upload a photo of yourself when you donate for posterity, or make a donation in the name of your favorite butthurt Republican troll.

We have a couple reddit threads going. Some of them have enough momentum to be seen by most users over the weekend.

Indeed. And it has been much fun.I was the first to use the term "In for a fin". There was a flurry of activity with the same intent. Then things seemed to jump to $10 per, and it spiralled from there. What a great. fun day.

I would have just called you a threadshiater. He was at least creative about it.

People buy pink spatulas at Wal-Mart thinking it will save the ta-ta's. We just want to see the real Joe Biden scrub down a Trans Am in his Jorts and spread the donations among 4 groups. We must be terrible people.

Ok, freakout time. Nodded off in my computer chair. (Long work week) Had an odd dream. This thing finished. The car was bought, looked identical to the one in the onion article. Just before the car was delivered to Washington DC, it is discovered somehow that Biden himself made the largest donation. The car arrives. Biden follows true to form, and washes the car right there on the White House lawn. Sans shirt. Only he isn't flabby, and while not rocking a six-pack, does seem to be in reasonable shape. Biden's wife brushes hair in mirror and applies makeup. Auction goes. Biden stomps everyone and wins. And keeps the car at the White House while blasting loud ass 80s rock from it.

Crude: My Ignore list just swelled by about 120+...keep up the good work, you ignorant Farkers!! Keep posting, morons!Yee Haw!! We gonna buy a Trans Am fer a piece a' shiat politician!! Look at how dumb we is!!

msupf: My nephew just saw your post and said you were a turd burglar for trying to make other people feel bad for finding a silly but fun way to raise money for charity.

By the way- I'm usually quite snarky and can be a real jerk here on Fark- that's not who I really am in real life but I come here because I can hang around with other snarky jerks. Today, we've done something very cool and you've broken through my snarky jerk facade to expose the snarky jerk underneath.

In all seriousness, you're all awesome- thanks for making this happen!

Anyone who donates a nickle towards this shiat deserves to be drug through the streets naked behind the Trans Am while Betty White drives it to the farmers market.

Im amazed anyone can think of biden as anything besides the crotchy old fossil he came off as last night, he wasnt aggressive or pointing out policies he was acting like the boss who never listens but takes credit when things go right.

In short he was a douche and people who refuse to see that are farking retarded. Go read Foucalt, people need to see that can apply to either side not just right wing nut bags...........

You're welcome, and pretty much the same for me here.

Completely unrelated topic, someone on reddit thinks that I'm you. And has been questioning other people in threads trying to figure out your Reddit handle, if you have one.

Has anyone looked this over yet? It's about gifts to the President, but I think we can safely assume it also applies to the VP.

Although the President, like all other federal officers and employees, is prohibited from receivingpersonal gifts from foreign governments and foreign officials without the consent of Congress(U.S. Const., art. I, §9, cl. 8), the President is generally free to accept unsolicited personal giftsfrom the American public. Most of the restrictions on federal officials accepting gifts from"prohibited sources" (those doing business with, seeking action from, or regulated by one'sagency) are not applicable to the President of the United States (5 C.F.R. §2635.204(j)), althoughthe President may not solicit gifts from such sources. The President, in a similar manner as otherfederal officials, may also receive unrestricted gifts from relatives and gifts that are given on thebasis of personal friendship. When personal gifts accepted by the President or his immediatefamily exceed a certain amount, those gifts are required to be publicly disclosed in financialdisclosure reports filed annually by the President. 5 U.S.C. app., §§101(f)(1), 102(a)(2). ThePresident remains subject to the bribery and illegal gratuities law which prohibits the receipt of agift or of anything of value when that receipt, or the agreement to receive such thing of value, isconnected in some way to the performance (or nonperformance) of an official act.

I guess as long as we don't try to bribe Joe into preferential treatment of Farkers we should be golden.

Just to make sure we are clear. You are against donating to Biden Breast Health Initiative, Doctors Without Borders, the Wounded Warrior Project and GLAAD. Correct? Because that is where the money will eventually go to.

Oh, probably just trying to put people together in two places. I shot him a PM over there.

{Intro - Dramatic Music}I went to Yahoo.com and read the comments. I thought...I really thought I could help. But there was too much derp. I posted left, right, then back again. But the derp and the herp kept coming. I got off maybe 20 posts, and each one was a kill, but they never went down! They didn't stop! The brainless herpzombies clawed their way through any logic or compassion or the just plain humanity of givejoethebird.com I could shove in their way. I just couldn't stand it any more and ran like hell. I apologize, and I understand if you want to court marshal me for it. But there was nothing I could do - I was overwhelmed. I just hope this testament will help future people tasked with venturing into that unholy place. Tell my mother that I love her.
